Storyline:
Ch.1.
It’s the beginning of a new school year. Everyone is getting ready to elect the next batch of students that will represent the school. /co/ (Conrad) and /v/ have already put up posters for the position of student body president. Others have also taken an early start for the other positions (vice president, secretary, treasurer, etc.). Conrad and /v/ have a friendly rivalry; it’s nothing out of the ordinary to have them hang out with /tg/ and /a/ (Aoi?). Clubs were starting up again. All four of them go to the Art Club for its first meeting (plus other art motivated students), with /ic/ (Dick) as its sponsor. The four of them started chatting about the student campaign until Dick brings up the subject of club officers. Students were nominated, but ultimately people nominated Aoi as its president. Aoi was hesitant, but accepts.
Now, this disturbs Conrad (he knows he’ll dislike Aoi’s interests for the members), so he whispers to /tg/ to become the vice president to watch out for Aoi’s intentions for the club, even though Aoi didn’t have any underhanded motive whatsoever). /tg/ eventually agrees and Conrad nominates him and persuades others in doing the same (Conrad would be a great vice, but he’s busy with the other election). /rs/ becomes the club secretary; /m/ is the treasurer (?). The meeting ends and they return to their classes. A new student is presented. His name is /r9k/.
Ch.2.
Starts off with a background of /r9k/ and his personality. Because of his kindness (if you call being ‘gentleman-like’ kindness), he was finding it difficult to make friends at the school. It was weird to everyone how he acts, so he sits alone in the cafeteria. The four main looks over at him from across another table, questioning each other about the new kid. /v/ finds it easy to make fun of /r9k/, while Aoi doesn’t trust the new kid because he appeared to be misogynistic (/r9k/ thought Aoi to be a girl?). Conrad didn’t hear them; in fact, his mind was concentrated on the cafeteria assistant, /ck/ (Becky).
Everyone at the table already knows about his infatuation with her, even /tg/. Needless to say, no one knew that /tg/ harbored the same crush, so it only made it more awkward when the group starts telling Conrad to ask Becky out. /tg/ excuses himself from the table and walks away with the intention of playing board games in another classroom. He accidentally knocks into /x/ on the way there. She seems panicked, and justifiably so. Around the corner, /tg/ hears /b/ calling out for someone. He looks down at /x/ and realizes that /b/ was searching for her. Seeing that she really didn’t want /b/ to find her, /tg/ hides her. /b/ passes by without any attention to /tg/. /x/ thanks /tg/ profusely and they talk for a while before she departs to wherever she goes. She tells him he is a good friend.
Ch.3.
This chapter is about /b/ and /r9k/ meeting. It was one of those days where /b/ was scavenging for /x/ (or other students to serve as a supplement) that he ended up discovering /r9k/ in all of his humbleness, eating outside of the cafeteria. /b/ proceeds to introduce himself to the student, which delights /r9k/ a bit because it was getting really uncomfortable being friendless at the school. /b/ tells /r9k/ all about himself and how lucky /r9k/ was to have known him. After all, /b/ was the principal’s son. Apparently he could get away with anything. /r9k/ and /b/ chats for a while, with /b/ somehow convincing /r9k/ to lessen on being a gentleman because women were bitches and whores? They agree on a matter of things (to /b/’s surprise, though he’s really aiming to tweak /r9k/’s views like the troll that he is). /b/ leaves /r9k/ and they agree to hang out more.
Meanwhile, /tg/ and /x/ forms a friendship.
Ch.4.
This chapter takes place from /m/’s point of view, since he’s questioning why he took up the position of treasurer for the Art Club. But nevertheless, it was better than being just a regular art member. It starts with a little bit of /m/’s background and then shifts to where he currently is, which is another Art Club meeting (officers only). It had been about a week and a half (two weeks?) since the club nominations passed. The officers are deciding on trips and activities for the club with Dick’s supervision. Aoi is being lazy and is not concerned with the trips until /tg/ suggests maybe an end-of-the-year visit to a convention. Aoi freaks out, and so does /m/, considering that their interests sometimes overlap. /m/ and Aoi argues with /tg/ over their convention of choice (/tg/’s choice is disapproving to the two members), so /rs/ breaks it up by having the Art Club members vote on the trip next week. /m/ suddenly remembers that any kind of class trip would take a bunch of charity work just to raise money for it. He’d have to be responsible for the money.
There is a knock on the door. /m/ opens it to discover /x/ looking for /tg/ (her intuition tells her he is in the room). /m/ tells /x/ that they were in the middle of a meeting (thinks she is in the club) and tells her to come back next week, but /tg/ tells /m/ that it’s alright for her to stay.
Suddenly, Aoi stands up in pure horror. “What are you doing, /tg/? That’s /b/’s new girlfriend!” And everyone in the school should be aware that /b/ is really possessive of his items, so students try their best to avoid being involved.
As /tg/ stood dumbfounded (and so was /m/ since he’d heard rumors of /b/’s mental problems), /b/ shows up behind /x/.
“So there you are!” /b/ piped up happily, grabbing /x/’s hand to lead her away from the club’s entrance.
Ch.5.
Focuses on /b/ and his previous girlfriend, the notorious /g/uro. They were well-known for being an odd pair, but /b/ couldn’t be happier, though she was accused of a murder once or twice and maybe a bit suicidal. He didn’t mind her, and she didn’t mind him minding her. After her death (/b/ never explained how she died), he went through a terrible withdrawal and didn’t come to school for weeks. When he returned, he tried to jump from the school roof (with a suicide note saying something along the lines of “for the lulz”.).
It was on the roof that he met /x/, who had a striking similarity to /g/uro. They talked about life, death, and the paranormal before they decided to hit it off. /b/ promises he would never let her go. It sounded romantic at the time.
/tg/ haven’t seen /x/ for days since the Art Club incident.
Ch.6- Back to the Art Club, convention decided (already next week?). Conrad, /v/, and Aoi notices /tg/ looking down. Whenever /b/ passes by, /tg/ gets upset. /b/ meets with /r9k/ again.
Ch.7- /b/ and /r9k/ talks. Convinced /r9k/ to skip school for the day.
Ch.8- Conrad is at Aoi’s house. Mainly about Conrad’s problems (campaign coming up, /ck/, etc.). Since /v/ and /tg/ were not there, Aoi starts talking about /v/.
Ch.9- This is about /v/ (either in Aoi’s POV or in /v/’s, since I’d have to introduce his background one way or another). Concentrates on his fight with /b/ at one point. Meanwhile, a student gets out of alternative.
